The whole ISU campus is hard to find. From St. Louis:
I-70 East to US-41.
North on US-41 (Third Street)
East on US-40 (Ohio Street)
And if you aren't familiar with the area, you'll end up at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology about 20 minutes later. Neither the Hulman Center nor the ISU campus are visible from the highway, and the last time I was through that way, it was easy to miss the signs.
Compare to Roberts Stadium: Easy access from Indiana-66. The downtown arena is easily visible from Indiana-62, although getting to it is an adventure for someone not familiar with Evansville to figure out which exit to take and where to park.
Compare to Assembly Hall (Indiana): Easy access from Indiana-46.
Compare to Mackey Arena (Purdue): Easy access from US-231.
Compare to Redbird Arena: Despite US-51 having been bypassed through Normal, the arena is less than a mile from I-74/55. I distinctly remember the water tower with the Redbird logo at the proper exit to use.
Compare to SIU Arena: If you can find Carbondale, finding SIU and SIU arena is easy.
For me, the most difficult arenas to find are ISU-Blue and Drake.
